Anyone watched it?? It's a new MMA promotion on the VS. channel.. Watching the first one I've caught right now.. Saw Liddell in one of the fighters corner but only caught the end of that fight.. Looking pretty good.. p.s. Where the fuck is Crazy Horse?? |

I dunno..
This is a Hard Rock Casino Las Vegas, so they are using the same venue.. Herb Dean was one of the refs and I saw Liddell.. Also they showed a commercial for UFC 71 but I dunno.. |

It's only difference is that it has lighter divisions than UFC. Jens Pulver is join WEC after he fights Penn. Pretty fucking good if you ask me.

I wasn't able to watch it last night, but I caught a couple minutes of it. Octagon, linked fence, same refs. Obviously it's a UFC affiliate, not sure what it's supposed to be. Maybe like the minor leagues?

UFC owns a handful of other promotions, WEC is one of them. KOTC isn't. I'm suprised Faber hasn't tried to step up to the 155lb division in UFC. I think he could handle it.

I thought I heard UFC owned the idea of MMA inside a cage? The more I think about that I don't even know if thats possible "to own" but I dunno, thought somebody mentoined it before

Yeah Pulver's joining the WEC, he's dropping down to 145 lbs. I've yet to hear anyone completely confirm this is a UFC owned company but I'm, 99% sure of it at this point.
BTW, what did you guys think of the Pulver/Penn fight? |

Penn dominated him. Nothing much else to say. Shame he is going up to 170lbs now.

WEC was orginally NOT owned by UFC, but UFC bought them out when the bought Pride but nobody cared because they had just bought Pride.

Are you sure they "own" it??
They had the owner of WEC on the show the other night and he mentioned UFC but didn't make it out like they were the same thing.. He even said it's hard for them to compete with UFC that's why they go after the smaller weight fighters, so they have something alittle different from UFC.. :dunno: |

They're trying to treat WEC like its "different", it's really not, they just want it to get the ratings. The only thing it has going for it is a heavier weight class and a lighter weight class. If they could get some fighters in their "unique" (or more unique anyway) weight classes bigger media attention I think WEC could become a bigger deal.
A Pulver/Faber fight would be big for the company. |
